Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Coach Sean Porter in the Gridiron Gang

No, this movie about juvenile delinquents playing football wasn’t Oscar-caliber. But, yes, Gridiron Gang went heavy on formulaic speechmaking -- and The Rock gave a convincing pregame pitch:

“Now it’s time to see who has the heart. Now is the time to prove to yourselves and to everyone out there that even though you are locked up, you are somebody. You are worthy of something… Are you ready to go out there and take what’s yours? What you’ve worked hard for? Are you ready to accept the Mustang challenge?”
